Larissa Killian
@larissakillian
Digital marketing specialist focused on paid advertising, social media, and data-driven content strategies.
What I'm looking for
I am a digital marketing specialist with over five years' experience across agencies, in-house roles, freelancing, and entrepreneurial projects. I combine analytical rigor with creative execution to increase engagement, boost brand awareness, and drive sales.
Since 2020 I have managed paid advertising and social media campaigns for small businesses and grocery chains, leveraging audience targeting, SEO, and platform trends to reach the right customers. I launched and grew a personal brand on TikTok and Instagram, emphasizing short-form video to increase viewer retention.
I have developed and sold digital products via Etsy and Gumroad, applying organic traffic strategies, SEO, and hashtag optimization to underserved niches. I routinely analyze key metrics—engagement, conversion rates, and ROI—to continuously optimize campaign performance.
My hands-on skills include campaign strategy, content production, video editing, user acquisition, and project management. I seek roles where I can apply data-driven creative work to scale digital products and marketing programs.
